| Reverse description | Zeus seated left on throne, his right hand extended and his left hand holding a long scepter, rendered in a heavily stylized and degenerate manner typical of late Indo-Scythian barbarous imitations. The figure retains the general iconographic scheme derived from the Hermaios prototype, though individual anatomical details are greatly simplified. A Kharosthi legend encircles the reverse field, itself often debased in the imitative series. |
